OK, no jury of peers.
Had they done something that the general public deems suitable for execution, that would have been an option for the jurors. Maybe it was, and they didn't find that to be a suitable punishment.
What bothers me most, is that people here are condoning simple murder. He was not an angry father, which although wrong, would certainly be understandable. He picked the names off a list, for the sake of killing them.
What if he decided to pick the names off the list of gun owners, or CCW holders? My guess is that the response here would be greatly different. DO remember, however, that there are people that would think that killing a gun owner would be acceptable. They are just gun owners, they don't really deserve to live if they believe in something so uncivilized as a gun.
And someone will be sure to bring up that gun owners have not done anything wrong. I will respond with many people don't see that that way. They know for a fact that someone with a gun is much more likely to kill someone than someone with a gun. So in their mind, they are just as justified in killing that gun owner as the guy thought he would be in killing the sex offenders.
